The Testament of Mary review
Posted : 11 years, 3 months ago on 2 September 2013 12:38 (A review of The Testament of Mary)This was a thought provoking book, depicting the Gospel story from a different point of view. I liked how throughout Mary talks about being a mother first and last.

Fortress in the Eye of Time review
Posted : 11 years, 3 months ago on 1 September 2013 09:48 (A review of Fortress in the Eye of Time)Overall I liked this fantasy epic featuring the innocent Tristan trying to understand his purpose in the world. Sometimes, however, I wish there was a list of characters and their connections as many of the names were similar and I found it hard to keep track of who was who. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Fortress of Eagles.

Posted : 11 years, 9 months ago on 4 March 2013 02:19 (A review of Running Away to Home: Our Family's Journey to Croatia in Search of Who We Are, Where We Came From, and What Really Matters)I enjoyed this book of not only researching family history, but living in the ancestors' home village and meeting new relatives. I liked how Jen learned not to stand outside as an observer but instead participate in daily activities, thus making new and valued friends.

Triangle: A Novel review
Posted : 11 years, 9 months ago on 4 March 2013 02:18 (A review of Triangle: A Novel)This was a very good book about people and their stories. The ones they tell, and the ones told about them. I liked Esther's interactions with the interviewer as well as her granddaughter's friend George Bostwick composing music based on DNA.
